Hmmm. Ok. e1000 only uses kmalloc_node which is based on kmem_cache_alloc_node. However, kmalloc_node will likely become a macro like kmalloc. Applying the patch would mean that modules would only be able to use kmalloc_node and not able to allocate node specific memory from one of the slab caches. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
